He was the son of Sir John Edmond Browne, 1st Baronet and Margaret Lorinan. Between 1825 and 1826, he married Mary Wright, daughter of Richard Wright, but after he death in 1831, he remarried to Laetitia Mann, daughter of Reverend Charles Mann and Susanna MacDougal on 16 March 1867. He was appointed a Knight on 9 March 1827, and succeeded as 2nd Baronet Browne of Palmerstown on 5 September 1835, upon his father's death.[3]
